Irradiation of benzene molecules by ion-induced and light-induced intense fields

Abstract

Benzene, with its sea of delocalized $π$-electrons in the valence orbitals, is identified as an example of a class of molecules that enable establishment of the correspondence between intense ion-induced and laser-light-induced fields in experiments that probe ionization dynamics in temporal regimes spanning the attosecond and picosecond ranges.
